Steegmans keeps the Davitamon train on the rails
|
After unsuccessfully trying to win the first two stages with Fred Rodriguez, Davitamon-Lotto took a different approach today. Rodriguez led out his teammate Gert Steegmans to win a big bunch sprint in Hénin Beaumont ahead of Isaac Galvez Lopez (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears) and Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole). Roberto Petito (Tenax) finished 46th in the same time, and retained the leader's pink jersey.
"It wasn't easy," Steegmans explained to VRT. "The last five kilometres was twisting and turning. My teammates piloted me to the finish line perfectly. I still got a hook from Cadamuro, but took the risk and it came out brilliantly. I know that I still lack experience and power in the sprint, but they will be worked on. I wanted to build up calmly here for the Tour of Belgium, but the French ride full gas from kilometre zero. You can't really call this training."
Fred Rodriguez told Cyclingnews that he made the decision to give the leadership to Steegmans today. "He told me he really wanted a try and I was happy to pilot him to a win," said Rodriguez.
For most of the day, Petito's Tenax team had the job of controlling the race. After 59 km, a break went with Geoffroy Lequatre (Cofidis), Jimmy Engoulvent (Credit Agricole), Frédéric Finot (Francaise des Jeux) and Mathieu Drujon (Auber 93). The four gained a maximum of only 2'10, which wasn't enough to ensure success. On the Notre Dame de Lorette climb, last year's winner Pierrick Fedrigo (Bouygues) tried a counter-move, but was unable to break clear of Petito's men. A sprint ensued, with Davitamon getting its train together to lead out Steegmans.
